...Once I remind myself that I’m at college to learn and not just to get A-grades, I find doing my assignments much more enjoyable. In the end, I simply have to remind myself that it is okay to spend a little more time on a project than others would spend. Also, doing my work for the purpose of actually learning and becoming educated for a future profession makes the time spent on assignments both more gratifying and rewarding.
I’ve noticed throughout my years growing up that school can also be much more enjoyable when I keep a light attitude toward it. That doesn’t mean I think it should not be taken seriously, but that stressing over an assignment will never improve the quality of my work or education. Although it may be difficult to achieve the proper mindset towards learning, the results are well worth it. The final chapter of the book Being Wrong by Kathryn Schulz talks about how educated people need to move past the frustrations of mistakes. I believe that this not only applies to frustrations but also to all other aspects of school in general. I’velearned that just rushing through homework for the purpose of being finished is not the best approach. Instead, if I take the time to actually understand what I am doing and why I do it, I then begin to take pleasure in my work. Being Wrong talks about taking pleasure in our mistakes and realizing that it is not always important to be right and that our mistakes can express our...

In the next few paragraphs there will be information about the characters, setting, plot, and literary element of choice in this specific story. There are lots of plot twists and unexpected things that happen and will be explained in the following paragraphs.
In “All These ThingsI’ve Done,” The main character is Anya who is a sixteen year old girl trying to live in the crazy city of New York City in the year of 2083.

Caffeine can cause depressionI used to drink three liters of Diet Pepsi a day. Disgusting. I know. I was completely addicted to caffeine and it took it's toll in the form of headaches, shaky hands, and mood swings.
I now drink three cups of coffee a day (save fashion week when I virtually have an IV drip of Starbucks), but I more or less am committed to a caffeine-lite lifestyle. Why? The data proves it all. High amounts of caffeine intake has some pretty scary side effects.
We spoke to Dr. Bryce Wylde author of the national best seller, The Antioxidant Prescription: How to Use the Power of Antioxidants to Prevent Disease and Stay Healthy for Life, Associate Medical Director at P3 Health, and friend to Dr. Oz to find out the facts on what really goes on when you're full of caffeine.
According to the multitude of studies he cites , here are five things you may not know your body could be battling while on caffeine:

...﻿25 Things I learned
1. Dating back to the first week of school, it was instructed to eat at least 1 piece of fruit, some water, and toast, or grains. I then researched why it was important which helped me appreciate the advice along with the advantages to my health.
2. I learned that it is important to substitute soy protein instead of animal protein. Soy protein, it has been proven that they register lower levels of cholesterol.
3. Drinking green tea daily helps lower cholesterol, and helps prevent existing cholesterol in your blood from oxidizing.
4. When referring to exercise zones there is not one zone that burns just one thing, a ratio of fat, cabs, and proteins.
5. It is important to spend 6-8 weeks in an adaptive phase of weight training in order to avoid tendonitis.
6. I learned the importance of setting two week plans, or any goals for that matter. I had always known the importance, but never really experienced how rewarding and effective these plans are, especially in reaching my physical goal.
7. I learned of the damage that sugar does on your heart, which also lead to very high cholesterol.
8. If a so called “addictive food” has more than 5 ingredients, you should not eat it. I have paid attention to labels and made smarter choices in the foods I choose to buy

...Have you as a woman ever noticed that it is almost realistically impossible for us to get along with men? It seems like no matter how hard we try or how hard we try to pretend we understand them, we always seem to come off as stupid and sometimes crazy to them. I believe most women view some men as unclassy, selfish human beings who lack the ability to give respect or acknowledge the fact that women are not there to take care of them. In some ways, men are sometimes seen as the term that women use often: animals. However, that would be an immoral judgment. In Barbara Ehrenreich's short essay, "What I'velearned from Men," she describes and bases her essay on things women can learn from men. In this essay, she proves that men influence women to become tough because of all the battles and arguments between the genders which make women realize they are too ladylike to "put out" in front of men simply because they are not mentally strong enough.
I believe the author is trying to get her point out to all women and tell them to stand up for themselves in front of men and that we should stop doing all the work. "In conversations with men, we do almost all the work: sociologists have observed that in male-female social interactions it's the woman who throws out leading questions and verbal encouragements ("So how did you feel about that?" and so on) while the man, typically, says "Hmmmm."" (Ehrenreich 196). This quote shows how...

English: More than Letters
As a freshman in college, many of the subjects I’ve taken up in the first semester are not new to me. I took Algebra, Biology, and even Filipino, but my English class is of an entirely different context. College English for me is unfamiliar. For example, I was never required to write essays on a weekly basis and be graded for it. I always took the kind of English class that we always just used to talk about novels. Nevertheless, throughout the first semester, I’velearned a lot from my English class specifically, the noteworthiness of a scratch paper in essay writing, organizing my thoughts, and writing from the heart, rather than writing to pass.
In English 1 I learned getting to the point of my essays the hard way, I was forced to learn the significant use of a scratch paper. For example, I was not always used to writing my essays in a scratch paper, I always just thought about what I would say in my head hence, I tend to beat around the bush often. In my English class, our professor required us to submit our scratch papers along with our essays, with this I was forced to include my thoughts in my scratch paper and rewrite. It was a hard habit to learn, but as I’m writing one of my final essays now, all the writing and rewriting made it worth it.
I also learned an important skill in English 1 that I can use not only...

...What I’veLearned From Men Response
In my opinion, “What I’veLearned from Men,” was by far, the most powerful essay of the six we read. The essay discusses the things that women should learn from men. The essay explains how women need to toughen up, and start taking credit for their accomplishments. This essay was very effective because Ehrenreich was both sarcastic, and serious.
As I stated earlier, Ehrenreich talked about how women need to start taking credit for their accomplishments which was a key part of the text. On page 258, Ehrenreich says, “ By putting herself down, a woman avoids feeling brazenly powerful and potentially “selfish” ; she also does the traditional lady’s work of trying to make everyone feel better (She’s not really so smart after all, just lucky” ). This is a problem I see in a lot of women. Many women, don’t take credit for anything they accomplish. They say that they just got lucky as if they didn’t work hard to accomplish what they worked for. It’s almost like they are trying to give credit to men for everything even though they work just as hard. I think a lot of fell obligated to do a lot of work, but not to take any credit for it. On page 258, Ehrenreich says, “ I think women should stop taking responsibility for every human interaction we engage in. In a social encounter with a woman, the average man can go 25 minutes without saying nothing more than “ You don’t...
